Nando's is a restaurant chain that started in South Africa that specializes in Portuguese chicken dishes. They're currently in 29 countries, including the USA (Washington D.C.). This is an ad that uses boobies to sell their product. Hooray!

you can tell this isn't an australian ad because nobody swore.
"Where the bloody hell are
you.my chips?"Funny how these "Australians" speak with South African accents...
Not aussie.
That accent is South African.
"This is an Australian ad..." WTF????

Channel assignments and description corrected. Thx.
^Because it sounds similar to Australian to me, that's why. There's not a night-and-day difference between the two.
Alright fair enough. As a South African I am a bit touchy about people mistaking my accent for an Australian accent. However it does happen fairly frequently so I guess I'll let you off with a warning this time!
Woah. Their accents sound nothing like Australian... clearly South African. You yanks need to get out more
You know... BisH0p69 had the right idea. They *ARE* similar. We're not talking about confusing Scottish with Romanian here. Try getting over yourself and your internet-chic Yank-hating and simply admit that they're somewhat similar.
Sure... if you're around them all the time, it's easy. But I don't get on you about not telling the difference between a Cajun and an Appalachian hick.
Obviously there's no reason you'd be around an Appalachian hick (thank your lucky stars) but my point has been demonstrated.
That being said, thinker's comment cracked me up.
How can you mistake this for australian?
Because only Australians, New Zealanders and apparently South Africans can tell their accents apart?

Wooo, OK at the risk of this discussion becoming a tad pedantic, I need to clarify this misunderstanding. I think the reason that the common "white" South African accent (because there is a difference in accents between groups in SA, albeit now slowly disappearing after Apartheid) gets mistaken for Australian is because it is not widely recognised. People hear it, think, "Blimey, what's that...its not any of the British ones, not Irish, not American or Canadian....IT MUST BE AUSTRALIAN!" If you actually listen to the accents there is DEFINITELY a big distinction. American & Canadian is a lot more related to each other, same goes for Aussie and Kiwi.
The South African accent (and by extension, Zimbabwean accent) is fairly unique. It's also known by actors as the hardest accent do to correctly. Leonardo diCaprio did a fairly decent job with his in "Blood Diamond".

Server sounds British-Indian...
The server speaks with a fairly standard black South African accent (again, just explaining that there are accent differences between South Africa's groups...I'm not a racist!

Hahaha. You crack me up. And while I was only joking about the "yank" thing, I must say that "Try getting over yourself and your internet-chic Yank-hating and simply admit that they're somewhat similar" is definitely a typical Yank-defence and I will not admit they are somewhat similar because they aren't... anymore than Irish-english is "somewhat" similar to Spanish-english
